Ravage. OF the Divorce Disease.

When one thinks Of the comparatively
email number Of divorced persons in his
acquaintance, or within his personal
knowledge, it is hard to believe in the
correctness Of the statistics, which show
that in this part Of Ohio there is adivorce
to every eight or ten marriages. One
reason for this Is that q very large part
OF the men and women who are divorced
at all are divorced q second, and'even, In
some cases, q third or fourth time. Di-
vorce is one Of the diseases which Is apt
to strengthen it, grip on its victims like
the opium habit, and Just as chronic
''drunks' furnish a large percentage Of
the cases Of intoxication in any police

AN EsTRAY LAW.

Referring to council bill No. IL, pro-
viding for the posting of estrays,
which 10 now In the hands of the CON-
mittee on agriculture, the Benton
River Press says: Montana 10 abso-
lutely without IN estray law and we
are glad to see that the legislature 10
taking the matter in hand. There is
o demand for such'a law and the leg
islature seems disposed to enact one.
Councilman Kennedy has introduced
q bill that has many excellent fea-
lures, and 1t is certainly q good basis
upon which to work and from which
to evolve such q law a. is required.
II declares all cattle. horses and hogs,
or other domestic animals running at
large In the territory unclaimed be-
tween the LIST day of November and
the LIST day Of April in each year, and
also any such domestic animals found
within the lawful enclosure of any
freeholder, shall be estrays within the
meaning Of the act and treated as
such. When a person takes up such
an estray he is required to 70 within
ten days to the nearest justice of the
peace and under oath describe such
animal. giving ear mrrks, brands,
flesh marks, age and approximate
value. The justic e must then certify
the same for record to the clerk
and recorder, who will record
the statement in book provided
for that purpose; he shall
also have the same printed in q
newspaper having the contract for
doing the legal printing, for four sue.
cessive weeks, for which the publisher
shall receive not to exceed $3.50 fol
each animal described. The clerk ID
also required to furnish to the terri
torial auditor a printed copy Of the
ad., where II is pasted In q book kept
for that purpose. The person TAX
ing up the animal must advance
all necessary sums for payment Of
the fees and costs provided by the act.
When a person establishes ownership
of an animal 30 taken up he must pay
the expenses incurred and reasonable
compensation for the keep Of the AMI.
NAL. Ifthey can not agree on the lat
ter the nearest justice of the peace ID
to decide. When the animal 10 un.
claimed after a period Of two years the
clerk issues q notice to that effect 10
the justice of the peace. The latter
directs a constable to sell such animal
to the highest bidder, and after pay
ing the costs and expenses the residue
Of the money Is turned. into the gene
raj fund o. the county. No q who
IL not a freeholder in the county is
qualified to take up estrays. These
are the essential provisions Of the Ken
nedy bill and in the main they are
well timed. We think that two years
10 too long to wait for the final dispo-
sition Of the matter. One year would
be long enough. Then the bill should
make i~t..clear that range cattle or horses,
branded aud belonging to persons
who have such range stock on any
ranges of the territory, should not be-
disturbed"
